I am a gallery curator and events coordinator at an historic house museum within walking distance of our home. Our lovely and comfortable house is on a quiet tree-lined street, with beautiful gardens filled with herbs and flowers, a deck for relaxing and an in-ground pool for hot summer days and evenings. In the winter, you can cozy up with a book by the fire.

Our house is filled with eclectic art, quirky pieces and paintings by my partner Denis. We love to cook and are forever experimenting in the kitchen. We use local vegetables and herbs from our garden and will happily provide homemade yogurt and granola in the morning or perhaps an omelet and local multiple-grain bread.

I'm a knitter, fashion and soft goods designer as well as a collage artist. I love to cook for friends and have a gift for entertaining. I know you'll enjoy your stay at Walnut Grove!

Marjorie was a perfect host. She fulfilled everything she listed in the posting, additionally going above and beyond her duties as a host, giving us suggestions for good places to eat and check out in North Hampton. She and Denis are some of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet, and they were very warm, accommodating, and welcoming to my girlfriend and I.
The house itself is even more beautiful than the pictures make it out to be, even in the dead of winter with several inches of snow around. Despite the frigid temperatures, the house was always warm. Both interior and exterior are extremely well taken care of, and the decor and art inside the house is beautiful. Everything is super clean. The bedroom was great, with a very comfortable bed and a great view of the outside.
I hope to stay here again if I am back in Holyoke.

Always a great stay with Marjorie and Denis, including when we have an extra guest at the last minute! Marjorie and Denis are so very hospitable and accommodating, as well a great long ranging conversation in a cozy house. Whether a group of work colleagues or friends, everyone is welcomed like family!

This is my second time staying with Denis and Marjorie--always a wonderfully cozy setting, beautiful house, great company, gracious hospitality, and most of all warm friendship! If I can't just move in ( ; ) ), I look forward to staying there again when I'm in the area!

This was an amazing airbnb experience! Marjorie and Denis are incredibly welcoming hosts and warm, interesting people. They made us feel completely at home in their beautiful, eclectic, art-filled home. We even bought one of Denis' wonderful paintings right off the wall! Not only was our bed super comfortable, both the room and the bathroom were lovely and well-appointed, and we felt completely at ease roaming the house for our choice of a cozy nook in which to read and relax. The fireplace and pellet stove were a great perk on a cold weekend, and a tray of tea to bring to our room (after we returned from an evening in Northampton) was a gracious touch . Can't say enough about the experience and we'll definitely be returning when we are in the area again.

Oh Wow... AirBnB keeps blowing my mind...just when I thought I saw the coolest of historic homes, there's this gem. Immaculate, inviting, and homey. And that's just the house. The people inside are even more beautiful! Thank you to my new friends in MA, for the reception and accommodation. I will definitely look you up again.

It was wonderful to stay with Marjorie in Holyoke! My business meeting ran a few hours behind but Marjorie was very understanding. She and her partner welcomed me into their eclectic space with a glass of wine and stories about their travels. They have an extensive art collection hung throughout the house which made for interesting conversation. Breakfast was fresh coffee and homemade yogurt and granola. If you are looking for an exceptional place to lie your head, book this place!

Majorie and her husband were a delight to host. Great communicators, relaxed, easy going, self sufficient, respectful of the house and extremely tidy. I would highly recommend them as guests to all AirBnB hosts!
